Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 bag frozen chicken nuggets (any brand, approximately 10-15 nuggets)
- Nonstick cooking spray (optional)
- Dipping sauces of choice (ketchup, ranch, honey mustard, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Arrange Nuggets: Place the frozen chicken nuggets in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not overlap to cook evenly.
- Air Fry: Cook the nuggets for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to allow even crisping on all sides.
- Serve: Once they are hot and crispy, remove the nuggets and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard.
Notes
- No need to thaw the chicken nuggets before air frying.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the nuggets.
- Spraying the nuggets lightly with nonstick cooking spray can enhance crispness but is optional.
- Shake or toss the nuggets halfway through cooking for even browning.
